Common mistakes
He was vented about the problem.He vented about the problem.
错误：将'vented'用作形容词（'被发泄'）。'vented'是动词'vent'的过去式及过去分词，但在此语境中应使用主动语态，表示'他发泄了不满'。正确用法是直接使用'vented'作为谓语动词，无需系动词'was'。
He vented on the unfairness.He vented about the unfairness.
错误：介词使用不当。'vent on'通常后接被发泄情绪的对象（人），而表达对某事的愤怒应用'vent about'。因此，应改为'vented about'。
